Hi all,


has someone perhaps come across similar bind log entries
like this one:

Mar 15 19:08:39 nserver named[169]: ns_req: sendto([xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx].1640): Connection 
refused

I�ve looked through ns_req.c in the bind sources and as far as I�ve
understood it, named tries to send a ns request message via the
sendto() call to the destination host which fails. 

What I don�t understand is, why named does this  at all. The
hosts that appear in the logs are  no nameservers and there�s no
(unofficial) named running on them. 

I am also wondering about the strange port numbers that named tries to
send the packets to; I�ve seen 3196 and 32768 for instance.

Cheers,


        Thore
